Ben Ray Luján: “Stopping intentional flaring and venting and leaking of natural gas is good for everyone's bottom line.”

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize and honor the accomplishments, contributions, and strength of Tribal Nations across New Mexico and the country.

I’ll continue working to lower costs and support small businesses across New Mexico.

I’ve long fought for Indigenous Peoples’ Day to be recognized as a federal holiday and will continue pushing to honor the Native people who have played a vital role in our communities and in shaping our nation’s history.

I strongly oppose these efforts to weaken these vital standards and will continue working to protect New Mexicans’ health, our environment, and energy needs.
